TASCAM MD-801R/P Mk II
NOTE
The point at which the JOG key was pressed
will not be included in the jog loop. To include
this point in the loop, you must turn the
JOG
dial counterclockwise.
4.2.15Shuttle mode
The SHUTTLE wheel [13] allows you to perform
fast cue or review operations, moving forwards or
backwards through the program material at high
speed.
The further the wheel is moved from the central posi-
tion, the faster the cue or review speed.
Since the MD-801 is a digital recorder, playback in
cue and review is not continuous.
4.2.16Displaying track titles during
playback
When the MD-801 is in play or play ready (or in
record or record ready) mode, pressing the
TITLE
key [16] shows the current track title.
If the track does not have a title entered, the display
briefly shows:
If the display is too long to fit on the display, it can
be scrolled by pressing the
TITLE key once more.
NOTE
If the MD-801 is in stop mode, pressing the
TITLE key displays the disc, rather than the
current track, title. Remember also that the
MEMO IN/CAPS key can also be used to
affect the display (see [16] ).
The entry and editing of titles is described in 5.11,
"Track and disc title entry"
4.2.17Displaying the recording date
If the current track has been “date- and time-
stamped”, the date and time can be displayed:
1
While the MD-801 is in play or play ready (or
record or record ready) mode, press the
MEMO
IN/CAPS key [23] so that the indicator is lit.
2
Press the TITLE key [16] . The word DAT E will
light in the display, and the date will be shown
(for example
98y 12m 25d ), followed
by the time (e.g. 10h 34m 12s ) in 24-
hour format.
If the track has not been time-stamped, the display
briefly shows:
NOTE
If the MD-801 is in stop mode, this operation
shows the disc’s time and date, rather than
those of the current track.
4.2.18Setting the time and date
Since the MD-801 leaves TASCAM with the date
and time pre-set, there should be little need for you to
set the time and date of the internal clock.
However, if you move the MD-801 across time-
zones, etc., you may need to reset the date and time
following the procedure below:
1 Eject any disc and power off the MD-801 (this
step is not strictly necessary, but simplifies the
procedure).
2 Press and hold down the TIME key [17] while
turning on the power. The display shows:
3
Turn the SHUTTLE wheel clockwise to start
setting the time and date.
4 Use the DATA dial as a data entry wheel, and
the SHUTTLE wheel as a cursor to move
between the year ( y ), month ( m ) and day ( d )
fields, as described in 3.1, "Basic principles of
menu operations".
5 After entering the value for the day, turn the
SHUTTLE wheel:
6
You can set the hours ( h ) and minutes ( m )
here.
7
When these have been entered, press the TIME
key to set the time (the seconds value is set to
zero as you press the key) and return to normal
operation.
